ideas...short of removing 2.0.3 and continue using 1.1.18.

Are there any other recommendations or thoughts?

Do you use the three-pane layout for the Mail & Newsgroups application?
If not, can you try it? (in SM 1.1.X it was at View -> Layout -> Classic
View).

With this view, do you have anything listed in the left-hand pane? This
is where Accounts and News Servers are listed.

Are you able to click on the tree entry representing your e-mail
account? Does it show the set of operational links in the display
window (with links like Read messages, Compose a new message, etc.)?

Can you expand that tree node entry and see a list of your mail
boxes (Inbox, Drafts, Sent, etc.)? Can you click on these and
view their contents?

Can you expand the tree node entry for a news server and see the
groups to which you are subscribed? Can you click on one of these
groups and see the messages in the right-hand side?

I think, after a very quick look, that you may be getting close to
solving my problem. I did, from the Mail page, go to
View>Layout>Classic View as you suggested. I, however, do not have any
capability to access a left-hand pane? The little bar along the side
of the window is not there. I will work on the remainder of your
suggestions in your messages later this evening. You got me
excited--maybe my not having a side pane is connected to the problem
of my having a grayed out drop down window under "Go".

More to come.

Problem solved. After receiving JAS message, I revisited View>Layout and
at the bottom of the drop down window where Classic was located is an
entry "Folder Pane F9". I clicked this entry and my left-hand pane
suddenly appeared with all of my accounts included. Next I click "Go"
and all of my accounts were now in black letters. I then click one of my
news groups and it worked. I am a happy camper to say the least. I will
probably add one more message to this thread after I do some more in
depth checking of everything.

You don't know how happy you have made this old man this evening. Thank
you both for leading me to the answer.

Thanks,

Frog


Please note--this is the first message sent while using 2.0.3. I do, however, have one question that remains. Both the side bar is there and the letters in the drop-down window under "Go" are black, when I click "Folder Pane F9". After the side bar is closed, the "Go" drop- down window letters turn gray again, while the side bar remains ready to click. Is there some way to keep the "GO" drop down letters to be permanently black (not change back to gray)? I can't find a way to place a check mark in front of "Folder Pane F9". This, compared to where I was, is not a problem--just learning to use the side window rather than Go.
